Ever since linking up with adidas two seasons ago, the University of Miami has enjoyed an endless flow of the brand’s best products. They were one of the first schools to receive their own Ultra Boost PE, and as the Hurricanes take the floor as a #8 seed tonight in the NCAA Tournament, they’ll be doing so in a new batch of custom Dame 3s.

With graphic inspiration drafting from Doppler radar patterns during a hurricane, The U has both a white-based and green-based PE of Damian Lillard’s third signature sneaker in custom school colors. For Dame, who starred at mid-major Weber State, having his own shoe now featured on the major March Madness platform is a special feeling.

“I never made the NCAA Tournament in college, but now so many college players and teams are wearing my shoes,” says Lillard. “It’s a great feeling – I made it again.”

In addition to the custom sneakers, Miami is also wearing tournament-specific jerseys, a first for adidas. Along the inner neck, you’ll find the school’s longtime slogan, #ItsAllAboutTheU.
